FWIW, Denys is not the only one disliking systemd. I also fully support the eradication of systemd from the surface of the planet, and we are a small group of users feeling the same way. There are good, technical reasons for this. From an engineering standpoint, the design of systemd makes an unacceptable amount of newbie mistakes; it looks like it has been designed by an average undergraduate student. The fact that the systemd people spend so much time lobbying for it, and managed to get it integrated into mainstream GNU/Linux distributions is just scary, and reminds me of Microsoft practices. Instead of spending so much energy promoting systemd, they should spend more energy studying software engineering and researching the state of the art in init systems, and produce better software. ( This criticism is also valid for *any* software produced by freedesktop.org, by the way. If you have never looked into the entrails of D-Bus, well, don't. Save it for the day when you have swallowed poison and really need to puke. ) For a small comparison of existing init systems, see: http://www.skarnet.org/software/s6/why.html -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
